Elevate your surf fishing game with Frank & Fran’s hand-tied Double Drop Bottom Rigs, expertly crafted by our Hatteras Island crew. These rigs are designed with precision using high-quality 30lb Fluorocarbon, Mustad hooks, and Sampo swivels—ensuring durability and reliability when you're out on the water.
Ideal for targeting a variety of fish species including puppy drum, black drum, pompano, sea mullet (whiting), spot, and croaker, these rigs excel in the surf. Whether you're fishing the beaches of Hatteras Island or casting your line in other coastal waters, these rigs are versatile and easy to use.
For the perfect catch, we recommend using fresh mullet, shrimp, sand fleas, or Fishbites as bait. A simple small piece of bait on each hook is all it takes for success. Want to keep it interesting? Try our “bait sandwich”—a combination of Fishbites, fresh bait, and a little more Fishbites. This creative setup keeps your bait securely on the hook while deterring pesky crabs from stealing it. And even if the fresh bait is eaten, the Fishbites will stay on, keeping your chances high.
